Biden Faces Accusations of Bribery Concerning Red Flag Gun Laws
A group of Republican lawmakers is accusing President Joe Biden’s administration of using the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) to bribe pro-gun states to pass new gun laws. In a letter addressed to top officials of the Biden Justice Department, the lawmakers argue that the Department of Justice is illegally funding “red flag” laws and violating the Second Amendment and due process rights of American citizens. They claim that the BSCA is being misused to fund controversial extreme risk protection order programs that lack sufficient due process protections for gun owners. The letter demands accountability from the Department of Justice and seeks answers to 10 questions. The GOP lawmakers assert that the Biden administration is creating gun restrictions even in states that do not have red flag laws. They argue that the federal government should not be funding state-level gun confiscation programs that violate the due process rights of gun owners. The letter concludes by stating that the Department of Justice appears to be engaged in a federal bribery program to hand out grant money for gun confiscation.
